Yesterday I decided to write my list. I wrote down every single thing I think I might need on this holiday.

Tonight I decided to see if I could fit every single thing I think I need on this holiday in my suitcase. Houston, we have a problem.

If I leave my hiking boots behind, I can just about fit everything. Only problem is, I need them for the polar bear tour. Okay, so I could leave my polar fleece jacket out. I have another three jackets that are warm. That will do the trick.

I had to give up on my test pack about 20 minutes ago. I was getting too demoralised.

We now have an itinerary for the Seattle and Mount St Helens tour. It includes a helicopter flight over the blast zone! So excited! It will be a long day (12 hours in total) but should be good fun. The boy is very excited. This is a sample of what our tour will be like.

We have discovered no plugs, so need to get those at some point. Also: we have not bought the boy's suitcase. That will be a job for this weekend.

I think I need another pair of gloves. I'm worried about being cold!

Four weeks and four days to go. I can really feel the holiday mood descending on me now!
